A "wide front end" will make the bike handle a bit quicker over the standard Dyna/Sporty 39mm tree assembly? Please enlighten us how it does this. Last thing you want is a wideglide front end if quick and nimble handling are at the forefront of importance. What really determines quick steering is the overall rake and trail configuration. Downtubes kept in close proximity to the steering head also improve nimble response. Smaller and lighter downtubes and forks also help to keep COG of the bike centered properly and unsprung weight to a minumum. Alot of things to factor in.

The wide front end will make the bike feel a bit lighter and handle a bit quicker.
